In tha presence of a mighty concourse of people. William Howard Taft. of Ohio, swore today to "preserve, pro tect and defend tho constitution of the fnlted States," and by so doing became the 27th president ol the United States. Immediately after the administra tion of the oath to Mr. Taft by Chief Justice Fuller the new Presi dent t 'llvered his inaugural address to the crowds that filled the nlaza In front of the east nnrtlcn nf tho capitol. At the conclusion of his address he was escorted to the White House, where he and his escort nar- took of luncheon before proceeding to the grand stand, at tho court of honor, to review the Inaugural pa rade. With the passing of the wardi ng thousands before the new Presi dent, the display of fireworks In the rear of the White House and the naugural hall in the ovenlne tha eventful day closed. Accompanied by President Roose velt and escorted by a veteran guard commanded by General O. O. How ard, Mr. Taft was driven to tho cap itol. On their arrival Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt nroceeded at once to the senate chamber to witness the Inauguration of Vice-President Sher man. Itcginiilng of the Ceremonies. When all the witnesses to the ceremony were assembled, Vice-Pres ident Fairbanks rose and called tho session of the senate to order. Af ter a brief valedictory address, In which ha thanked the senatore for the courtesy and respect shown to him during his term of office, Mr. Fairbanks called to his rostrum the vjIsm WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT AN1 A PRESIDENTIAL Vlce-l'reuldeui-eiect, James Scliool- craft Sherman, of New York, and, the crowd standing, administered to him the oath and turned over to him the gavel that Is the outward sym bol of the authority attaching to his new office. The first official act of the new Vice-President as presiding officer of the senate was to call the senate to order and direct the re cently elected members to come for ward and take the oath. This ac complished Vice-President Sherman declared the senate adjourned for the time being. Led by the sergoants-at arms of the senate and house, the members of the two houses and the other offi cials marched through the corrldorg of the capitol to the Inaugural stand that had been erected at the east portico. As the retiring chief executive and his successor appeared at the main door of the capitol and proceeded to walk to the front of stand toward Chief Justice Fuller, who, with Bible in hand, awaited Mr. Taft, tha troops massed In front of the stand and drawn up on two sides present ed arms and a cheer rose from the crowd that extended as far as one could see from the stand. The crowd was very quiet as Mr. Taft repeated the words of the oath after Justice Fuller and their voices were plainly heard. Mr. Roosevelt did not accompany Mr. Taft back to the White House. In accordance with his previously announced plans after the inaugu ration ceremonies he left the capi tol for the railroad station, where he and Mrs. RooBevelt took an early train for New York. It is his In tention to devote his time to the preparation for his coming trip to the African wilds. Protection for New President. Custom requires the President of the United States to take the oath of office and deliver the Inaugural address in the open air, and Mr. Taft did not depart from the cus tom. However, in deference ro the protests of those who believed that bis health should not be endangered by the March air more than wg ab- solutely necessary, the Btand upon which he reviewed the parade was partly inclosed In glass. The taking of the oath is the only really essential part of tha Inaugu ration ceremonies, but only a com paratively small portion of tho thou sands visiting Washington can as semble within seeing distance. For the rest the Inaugural parade and Inaugural ball are the great fea tures. The parade Is declared by all to be the biggest that ever marched up Pennsylvania avenue. To night will hold two attractions for the visiting thousands. The first will be the grand display of fireworks back of the White House; the other will bo the ball. The In auguration managers have an nounced that the fireworks displays will excel any ever seen In Wash ington. The Inaugural ball is open to all who have been able t pay $5 apiece for tickets.

Pool Room Ordinance Killed Signs Must Come Down Edict of touncil. Ordlnauoo No. 182, regulating pool rooms billiaid bulls and card rooms, was finally killed by the city counoil last Monday night, after an extended debate in which all the couuoilmen and the mayor participated. This ordinuu.ee, as originally introduced, provided that the establishments affected should be closed on Sunday aud at nine o'clock every evening ex cept Saturday when they might ran till eleven o'clock; and also barred uiiuora tro u entering or loitering around thee places. It was later amended to strike out the provision concerning week dvy olosing and was then talked to await the aotion of the legislature on a law dealing with the same questions. The ordiuauoe was takeu from the 'table Monday aud passed to its second leading. Councilman Brosius then moved that further consideration be indefinitely postponed. Besides the councilman and mayoi, Rev. U. A. Nutloy spoke on the question, urging the passage of the law, i he oouuoiluien Lroke even on the meaBUie aud Mayor McDonald cast the deciding vote against it. An ordinance was then introduced whiob follows the letter of the new ctate law provides that proprietors may not per mit mlnois to indulge in games of ohanoe in publio amusement resorts and also makes it a misdemeanor for minors to misrepresent tbeir age foi the purpose of obtaining permission to play. This law bBB do Sunday olosing clause. Ad ordinance was introduced grant ing the Watt Development Co. a fran chise to ereot poles and string wires for the purpose ot installing another light system and passed the first read ing aud was referred to the judiciary committee. The committee on judic ial y report in favor of enforolng the present ordinnuce regarding street signs aud tbelr recommendation was accepted. This menus that all signs extending over the walks must come down. ('. D. Nlokelson was granted pei mis sion to remodel the Young building aod lower the sidewalk. Mr. Nickel- son intends to put in an eight-foot lobby and make the operating and In terior room fireproof. In the matter ofthe claim ot A. D. Smith for damages against the city on account of the opening op of a street, the recorder was instructed to notify attorneys lor the claimant that the oity leoognized no claim foi damages In the matter. The city attorney was asked for an opinion legarding the rights of the olty over the so-called military road within the limits of the oily. Ibis tesolutou was the outcome of a com munication from J. P. Batobelder re garding the street near Paradise Farm, which he claims Is partly ou bis property, and which be again started to fenoe up, but was ordered to stop by Marshal Lofts. As one inetnbor of the council expressed it, the city must have a full street there, and while it was immaterial just wbat lines the street fol(owed,the olty attorney will be asked to dnd oat just what the oity's rights are in the premises, and aotion will be taken accordingly. The judiciary oomlmttee was in srtuoted to bring in an ordinunoe providing for the erecting of a side walk fiom Beoond street along the north side ot State street to East Beo ond street. This would give a walk from Second street to the bridge without cllmbiDg the bill. Ordiuauoe No. 183 granting a fran chise to the Home Telephone Co. was passed, Hall not voting. Ordinance No. 184, defining fire limits, regulating construction and removal of buildings in the Urejlimit, was passed. Ihe recorder was instructed to give due notioe of the charter election Maroh 2G, and II. J. Hibbard, Geo. P. Urowell and L. N. Blowers were ap pointed judges and Kev. W.C.Uilmore aud A. N.
